Stick Mantis fascinating insects.

in Fascinating Insects • 5 years ago

Hello hive family.
Had this beautiful one land in my hair today while i was having a walk. At first i thought a twig had fallen from a tree but it was a large brown Mantis ( Stick Mantis).

i put it back into the nice tree to hide and hint and i stayed taking photos till he was out of sight.

Few more photos of the large mantis.
Female have half length wings which cover half of her abdomen. males are smaller in size and have full length wings.
